Ultimately, that is the intention -- you should be able to do anything in calibre either from the desktop GUI or via a server-client model via the browser-based clone.
This will also give us multi-user access, and be the next best thing to a Chromebook version of calibre.

But for now, the rewrite is nowhere near done.
The functionality of the current server has been mostly duplicated, and the in-browser ebook viewer is functional-but-still-rudimentary -- all the rest is still to come.
I have been watching it progress with excitement.
@
HarryT,
A lot of people have found that Chromebooks
mostly meet their needs, are much easier to maintain, and cost a lot less.
That is a valid choice, and although I don't see restricting
myself to only the browser, browser apps, javascript, and now Android emulation (sometimes)... if someone else wants to do so, it would be nice if there are solutions available to them.
More choice is always a good thing, and simply saying "get a PC" is not a good answer unless you mean to say there is
no Chromebook-compliant solution.
(Granted, I know of none, but I haven't looked, so what would I know.)
